Whether you consider yourself a weekend warrior or hit the gym hard just about every day, it's important that your workout gear can support your fitness routine [1]. Regardless of the programs 2018 has in store for you, you'll likely need to swap out your worn-out sports bras for something new. Need a low-intensity option for morning reformer Pilates? Prefer something that will keep you in place during those weekend runs? Here are the options that score for the new year.

Nike Rival Sports Bra
For your most demanding workouts, Nike's bringing ALL the support with the Rival Sports Bra [9] ($65). Molded cups lift and separate, adjustable straps give you flexibility, and a hook-and-eye band closure provides extra security. A low-profile design still works under your favourite tanks without giving away just how supported you actually are.
Carve Designs Reversible Sanitas Top
While technically a surf-inspired bikini top [10], the Carve Designs Reversible Sanitas Top [11] ($56) has become our go-to "sports bra" for hot yoga due to its ability to retain shape and performance even when soaked, then be completely dry five minutes after class. The fact that it is reversible and comes in a variety of cute print combos is a value-added bonus.
Alo Yoga Lounge Sports Bra
We love the simplicity of the Alo Yoga Work It Out Bra [12] ($58) — not so plain that it's boring, but not too many bells and whistles, either. A cute cut-out adds just enough flair, and a classic v-neck, light support, and wicking fabric give it all the function you need for a low-impact workout like yoga or Pilates.
Lorna Jane Desire Sports Bra
The Lorna Jane Nikki Sports Bra [13] ($70) has a higher neck and extra coverage (with sexy little cutouts).
Sweaty Betty Stamina Sports Bra
The thick underband on this Sweaty Betty Stamina Sports Bra [14] ($50) makes it optimal for high-impact workouts.
GapFit Low Impact Strappy Sports Bra
The strappy-front trend is one of our favourite studio-to-street looks, making our sloppy scoop-neck tees look suddenly chic. GapFit's Low Impact Strappy Sports Bra [15] ($30) proves that point.
The Upside Andie Printed Stretch-Jersey and Mesh Sports Bra
If you're looking for a low-impact option, consider this The Upside Andie Striped Camo Matte Sports Bra [16] ($63, originally $85).
Forever 21 High Impact Caged Bra
This has the sexiness you want in a strappy design with the support you need for all your favourite high-impact activities. Forever 21 is never one to miss out on a trend, and it's nailed it with a comfortable, functional spin on the playful caged look with the Forever 21 High Impact Caged Bra [17] ($13).
Patagonia Active Compression Bra
Patagonia never skimps on quality, which means when you fall in love with the comfort of the Patagonia Active Compression Bra [18] ($27, originally $55), you can rest easy knowing it will hold up for years to come — no matter how many miles or Down Dogs it survives.

Fresh and bright colours, medium support, adjustable straps, and a sweat-wicking fabric make the C9 Champion Power Core Compression Sports Bra [19] ($15) a winner.
